- I'd like to know if there is an X-Windows server that can run under
- MS-Windows. I know of the existence of Deskview/X, but that appeared
- to not run MS-Windows on the same machine, although it could display
- MS-Windows that was running on another machine. Am I right?
-
- The situation is that I use a Sun at work running X. I must be able
- to use X in order to run the applications on the (Sun/Unix) network.
- However, I would like to be able to use some of the same software at
- work as I do at home (like a personal information manager). Sooooo,
- if I could run X on a (suitably souped up) PC (any suggestions in that
- regard?) AND run MS-Windows, I'd have a nice work environment. I
- MIGHT be able to get my boss to spring for a PC to replace my Sun --
- the chances of having a PC in addition to the Sun are around nil.
-
- What can the folks on the net tell me? I appreciate any/all
- information you can send my way.
